Abstract:The difference between chronological age and predicted biological brain age, the so-called "brain age gap", is a promising biomarker for assessment of overall brain health. It has also been suggested as a biomarker for early detection of neurological and cardiovascular conditions. The aim of this work is to identify group-level variability in the brain age gap between healthy subjects and patients with neurological and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, a deep convolutional neural network was trained on UK Bi… Show more
